How do I change the scale value ratios in Lion?

If I use a larger monitor and want to scale down all the windows by 50%, how would I change this setting in Lion? I have plenty of desktop space with a larger monitor, but this does not really seem to help at all because all the windows are still taking up as much of the screen. When I manually drag the window smaller, the letters are still larger and require scrolling to read. When I press Command (- ), the text gets jumbled together and is not viewed as the screen should be. I would like to know how to just adjust the settings to scale everything down by 50%. I have tried typing some stuff into the terminal which I found via Google, but they do not seem to work on Lion. I would like to just have more desktop space and keep everything scaled down like on the larger iMacs. Thanks in advance for the help.

Found it!
Make sure you have multiple desktops already running.
Go to System Preferences->Keyboard
Choose Keyboard Shortcuts
On the left select Mission Control.  On the right, I have "Switch to Desktop 1, Switch to Desktop 2, etc"
On my iMac they were checked, and working.
On my MacBook they were unchecked.  Checked the boxes, now it works.

  • How to batch change the standard value of routing

    Dear all,
             I meet a problem, and need you help.
            As you know, we can use T-code "CS20"  to batch change a component's quantity in different Bom by a factor.
           for example:  Component a in Fert. A,  quantity change from 6g x 0.9 = 5.4g
                               Component a in Fert. B,  quantity change from 8g x 0.9 = 7.2g
           now, my question is how to Batch change the standard value in routing. (select by work center)  CA85N can select the value, but seems can not batch change by a factor,
           thanks in advance

  • How do I change the default on shutting down Lion to NOT relaunch open windows?

    How do I change the default on shutting down Lion to NOT relaunch open windows? And how can I have Safari always open in full screen mode? I have to set it every time I open Safari.

    The feature you are talking about in System Preferences does work and is not related in any way to the one at startup.
    One restores the windows of an application you've quit, the other reopens all windows you had open at shutdown or restart.
    Why should "I" have to constantly turn off a checkbox when I shutdown the system?
    You don' t have to.  Did you have a look at my post just above yours?  With a double click you can have your restart without opening the last open windows.  That's less than clicking the apple icon and selecting "restart" or "shut down" and then clicking "Restart" or "Shutdown" again.

  • How can I change the initial value of the field approve_or_reject?

    Hello Workflow Gurus
    We are using SRM 5.00(SRM SERVER 550) and as per the requirement, I have to make the Reject radio button as default checked on the Approver's screen.
    We are using the SAP Standard Workflow WS14500015.
    I found out the Standard task TS14508044 (SC approval per Item)which has one field in its container i.e. approve_or_reject ,based on the Initial value of this field , the radio button is behaving...
    approve_or_reject EQ 0 i.e. Approve
    approve_or_reject EQ 1 i.e. Reject
    Now my requirement is to change the initial value of this field from 0 to 1 so that Reject radio button comes as checked by default into this standard SAP workflow task TS 14508044...
    Kindly help me and let me know the procedure to change this.
    PLEASE LET ME KNOW THAT IS IT WISE TO MAKE THE CHANGES INTO STANDARD SAP WORKFLOW ???
    Thanks and regards

    Well Iam not much sure about how you are trying to approve the shopping cart workitem b ut last week i faced a similar issue while apporving the workitems I was able to update the contianer element Apporve_or_reject element by using the FM BBP_PDH_WFL_WI_APPROVE and BBP_PDH_WFL_WI_REJECT ... These two fm will take the responsibility of updating the element with respective value as, if you approve the it will be populated with 0 and if you reject the the element will be updated with 1....
    Please check the thread where I updated the thread in [SRM Workflows|Problem while approving SC from Blackberry !;
    PLEASE LET ME KNOW THAT IS IT WISE TO MAKE THE
    CHANGES INTO STANDARD SAP WORKFLOW ???
    Modifying the standard workflow is not recommended.....

  • How can I change the default value of a command ?

    I want to be able to change the default value of a comand when the vi
    is running. (I know how to do that with a right click when the vi is
    not running).
    In fact I would like the user of the vi to be able to choose a new default value for a command.
    How can I do that ?

    You can't do this on a running VI. If you have an idle VI, you can open a reference to that VI and use an invoke node with the Make Current Values Default method, but that will only work in LV (i.e. not in an EXE) and will affect all the controls. What you can do is save the values to a file and load them when the program starts. OpenG's File I/O package includes some VIs which will help you with that.

    You could mess around a little bit with "Flex Edit" (go to the GB help menu and search for flex edit to learn how) and see if that helps, but as Hangtime said, GB doesn't really support that... yet.
    One application that might help is Amazing Slow Downer. You could use it to speed up or slow down material before bringing it into GB:

  • How do you change the amp value of a battery

    I am trying to make a voltage regulator for my car.
    My car puts out 14v and 500 amp battery.
    I can not tell Multisim that I want a 500 amp battery.
    How do I change the value?
    This is important because I have to make sure I have at least 15amps output. No way to do this so far. Program is worthless.

    Shane711,
    Most multimeters can only handle ten amps or less, so it is not surprising that yours burned up.
    How did you connect the multimeter while trying to measure the battery current? Cars have large, heavy wires connected to the battery because the large currents would destroy smaller wires. Your multimeter does not have connections or wires anywhere near as large as the battery cables. To measure the current you need to disconnect one of the cables and connect the meter in series with the cable. If you attempted to connect the multimeter in parallel with the battery as you would to measure voltage, you shorted the battery through the meter and probably had hundreds of amperes flowing, at least until a fuse blew or some wire burned out.
    Your specification for the voltage regulator does not make any sense. A voltage regulator has an output voltage specification - yours is 12 V. It also has an input voltage range specification. You did not specify an input range. The output current is determined by the load via Ohm's Law. The specification includes a maximum current - Is that what you meant by 15 amps? Some regulator circuits also have a minimum output current specification, often a few mA. Optional specifications include tolerances on voltages, power dissipation, transient response characteristics, and so on. The design of the circuit depends on all of these specifications.  You will probably not find a single device which operates as a voltage regulator with 12 V output at up to 15 A.  A regualtor like that will probably contain one or more power transistors, some ICs, resistors, diodes, capacitors, and inductors.
    Any simulator is only as good as the models used. From what Tien P. said in his earlier post, the battery in Multisim is an ideal voltage source. If so, it should easily produce currents of 1000 amperes. Just put a 12 milliohm resistor across the battery.  As I said yesterday, you will need to create a battery model circuit which has the characteristics you want in your battery.  What do you expect the output voltage to be at the battery terminals when drawing 1000 amps? What should it be with no current drawn? What should it be at 1, 10 , and 100 amps?

  • How does one change the "rollover" value in text field of fillable PDF

    I have a fillable PDF, and the values displayed when rolling the pointer over a fillable text field are showing some strange values.  I inherited this form from someone who is no longer with the company.  I need to be able to change the values but can't figure out how.  I'm new to LiveCycle so any help is greatly appreciated.

    I guess you are referring to "Tool Tip" you can update those in "Accessibility" Pallet...in designer you would access this by Shift+F6.

  • How can I change the length value of all notes in a score, .e.g., double the length, or halve the length)?

    I'd like to change the score of a composition so that the quarter notes are eighth notes, the half notes are quarter notes, the whole notes are half notes, etc.  Is there a way to accomplish this uniformaly, all at once, in Logic Pro 9?

    I am assuming that you have done a lot of work already on an Arrangement and now want to change the whole arrangement globaly.  Here is how I would do it:
    1 - Make sure your midi notes are all quantised and of uniform length whatever their note values. ( This applies especially  if you have played the notes in in real time from a keyboard which is likely that they will be uneven - so quantize the lot before doing this. If you have 'written' or dragged the notes in Step Time then it is not so critical)
    2 - Select all the regions and then grab the Right hand end while holding down OPTION and SHIFT - you will be able to drag all the regions to the same uniform length.
    3 -  Calculate the entire length of the regions you have already written and round them off to a set number of bars. Let's say for example the regions extend from bar 1 - to bar 16. You are going to reduce the regions to exactly half their length by OPTION dragging the regions smaller. That way you will get quarter notes halving to 8th notes. ( If it was the other way round you would OPTION drag the regions larger the other way)
    Hope that helps

  • How to read out the scale values of an intensity graph?

    My aim is to read OUT the scale ranges (Max and min values DISPLAYED) of an intensity graph.
    I want to do a scan of an area, display the result in the graph, graphically zoom in on something interesting and then use the zoom coordinates to define the area for the next scan.
    Is that possible, and how?
    If impossible, is there a work-around?
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Use the "XScale.Range" and "YScale.Range" property nodes.

  • How can I change the default value in IT0009?

    Right now in our system when we create a new IT0009 entry, several fields are defaulted such as the payee name, bank country, and currency (field WAERS). But in table T588Z I can not find anything defined for IT0009. Now even I create entries in T588Z ex. as 
    0009              WAERS     06     10     W     P0009-WAERS='USDN'
    the currency still shows up as 'USD' when I create a new record. Can anyone tell me where the field 'WAERS' is defaulted as 'USD' and how can I control this?
    Thank you very much.
    Best regards,
    Johnson

    Hi Johnson,
    Correct me if I am wrong,You need to default a value, so i guees you would need to use the feature P0009 not the dynamic action. If you could let meknow the current structure of the p0009 feature, may b i could help you figure the could-be structure of the p0009 to default the required value.

  • How do I change the Prompt values in a rep sched to run weekly

    My clients run reports on regularly, monthly, weekly, bi-annually you get the idea.  I want to know if there is a way I can automatically increment the date values to mach the run frequency of the report.  I want to make this as bullet proof as possible so if I can avoid manual input by the client that would be great.

    Create date variable in Universe which calculates the days automatically and use these objects in the condition and schedule the report accordingly.
    Eg: If you want to run a report  daily to bring previous 7 days data create an object in desinger with the def sysdate-7 (if it is oracle) and use that object in the condition. Then schedule the report. so whenever the report runs it brings the prvious 7 days data.

  • How do I change the default path assigned by Lion?

    Hi Everyone!
    Out-of-the-box, in Finder, the Favorites sidebar, the path for Pictures is: Macintosh HD>Users>vbbuilt>Pictures. 
       Note: vbbuilt is my user name
    I just bought a new external hard drive and have moved all picture files to that external drive, including the iPhoto Library.
    How can I change that path to: External Hard Drive>Pictures ?
    In other words, when I click on  Pictures in the Finder Favorites sidebar, I want to be sent to that Pictures folder on the EHD.
    Thanks! Vince.

    This all goes back to my original problem in this forum thread.
    1. I moved ALL files to an external hard drive.
    2. I WANT to retain Lion's icon image representing the Pictures, Music, and Movie Folders
    3. I WANT to rename Lion's default path for those original Pictures, Music, and Movie folders so that they point to their new locations on the hard drive.
    4. The default  Pictures, Music, and Movie Folders cannot be replaced - I tried that.  The OS-X does not allow deleting the existing folder.  I can place a new folder in the Favorites in the Sidebar, but the graphical representation of that folder, in the sidebar, cannot be changed.  I tried that too and does not work.  I can replace the image with a new graphic from the Get Info pane.  But when I <option> drag n' drop that same folder into the Favorites on the Sidebar, that new substitute graphic does not show up.  The default Icon for a folder is shown.
    Any thoughts on how to get around all these problems?
    Thanks, Vince.
